Hey Wen!I agree, can tell by what you say, you have knowledge,I find the shape which is difficult to collect very interesting,and of course color and ware also make a big difference.So very happy stone found me! could never afford it otherwise.Here in California there is many different kinds of this materials,all of which are new to me, but have been famous in the World...

Ms Yvonne!get back to me with your favorite type,would be good information to know, maybe surprise in mail from California!this year I am putting together a bus trip,for our stone club to the Jade Festival...

Just found this little red guy playing in the river,with arms held up high as if crying to be picked up!and carried home by Mommy or Daddy...

Just for fun as Ms Yvonne envisioned before!... 1st see the little round nose, center near top,then eyes ether side of nose on tilted head looking up,just below can be seen opened mouth,and tiny tongue...

I see it too ...the stone may be too newbroken to be a nice suiseki...but it has a face, no doubt abot that.

The Book from you has arrived....it shows photos of topsuiseki, and awesome jade...The best of it, is for me the geologipart....in this book can I learn about, how aand were a lot of diffrent stones was createt millions of years ago, also stones I find in Denmark. I have wanted to seak this information, but had not found the time to do anything about yet.It is a book with interest for every suiseki- jade- and stonelover.

So this book, a gift from you, is very welcomne. And I can only say, MANY THANKS.

Ms Yvonne! can hardly wait to see how it will improve your already masterful eye,results will speak for themselves I'm sure, enjoy it my friend... As for my new little guy, He is in the Saba style,which means rustic, term used comely with raw natural unpolished,textured 3-D chrysanthemum flower stones, mountain collected...
